How to quickly relieve hemorrhoids

　　Many people are troubled by various health problems, including hemorrhoids that make them unable to sit still. According to statistics, more than half of adults will suffer from hemorrhoids in their lifetime. Once an attack occurs, pain, swelling, and bleeding are excruciating. Many people ask: “Can hemorrhoids be relieved quickly? ”Although there is no immediate "magic trick", mastering scientific methods can quickly relieve discomfort and reduce symptoms.

How to quickly relieve hemorrhoids

　　1. Warm water sitz bath

　　Take a sitz bath with warm water around 40℃ for 10-15 minutes every day, once in the morning and once in the evening, especially after defecation. Warm heat can promote blood circulation around the anus, reduce inflammation and swelling, and act as a natural analgesic. Note that the water temperature should not be too high to avoid scalding the skin.

　　2. Local cold compress

　　In the early stages of acute swelling and pain of hemorrhoids, ice cubes can be wrapped in a clean towel and gently applied to the anus for 5-10 minutes. Low temperature can constrict blood vessels, reduce local congestion, and quickly relieve severe pain and obvious swelling.

　　3. Rinse with water + keep clean

　　Do not use rough toilet paper to wipe after defecation. It is recommended to rinse the anus with running water and then gently dry it with a soft cotton cloth. Keeping the area clean and dry can reduce the risk of irritation and infection and avoid worsening of pain.

　　4. Rational use of external medications

　　Hemorrhoid cream or suppositories containing anti-inflammatory and analgesic ingredients can be used under the guidance of a doctor, such as Mayinglong Musk Hemorrhoid Cream, Antai Ointment, etc. These drugs work directly on the affected area to relieve itching, pain and bleeding.

　　5. Levitation anus exercise + avoid sitting and standing for long periods of time

　　Doing levator exercises (contract the anus for 5 seconds and then relax, repeat 50-100 times) can help improve local blood flow and enhance muscle support. Also avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time, and get up and move around every half hour.

　　In addition, you should eat more foods rich in dietary fiber (such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains) and drink plenty of water to prevent constipation. Avoid spicy, greasy, and alcoholic drinks, as these will irritate the anus and aggravate the condition.

Causes of hemorrhoids

　　1. Unreasonable diet structure

　　Long-term insufficient dietary fiber intake and preference for spicy and fried foods can easily lead to constipation. Excessive force is required during defecation, which causes the rectal venous plexus to be compressed and congested, and the venous return is blocked, gradually forming varicose veins, which in turn causes hemorrhoids. In particular, long-term drinking can aggravate vasodilation and increase the risk of hemorrhoids.

　　2. Poor defecation and sedentary habits

　　Long-term neglect of bowel movements and playing with mobile phones during defecation will prolong defecation time and cause continued pressure on the perianal blood vessels.； Sitting or standing for a long time will cause the blood circulation around the anus to slow down and the venous plexus to accumulate blood congestion, which will prevent normal return. Over time, it will induce hemorrhoids, and office workers are a high-risk group.

　　3. Long-term increase in abdominal pressure

　　In pregnant women, the enlarged uterus compresses the pelvic blood vessels, resulting in poor perianal venous return.； Long-term elevated abdominal pressure in patients with chronic cough and prostatic hyperplasia will increase the burden on the rectal venous plexus, dilate and deform the blood vessels, increase the probability of hemorrhoids, and easily aggravate hemorrhoids.

How to prevent hemorrhoids

　　1. Adjust your diet to prevent constipation

　　Consume 25-30 grams of dietary fiber every day, and eat more celery, spinach, oats, dragon fruit and other foods； Make sure to drink 1500-2000 ml of water every day, avoid spicy and fried foods, reduce alcohol consumption, keep the stool soft and smooth, and reduce the stimulation of perianal blood vessels by defecation.

　　2. Develop good bowel habits

　　Defecate at a fixed time every day, avoid squatting for a long time (control it within 5 minutes), and do not play with mobile phones during defecation.； Go to the toilet in a timely manner when you feel the urge to defecate, and do not hold back deliberately to reduce the time of pressure on the perianal blood vessels. At the same time, avoid excessive force during defecation to prevent venous plexus congestion.

　　3. Improve lifestyle and reduce perianal burden

　　Avoid sitting and standing for long periods of time. Get up and move around for 5-10 minutes every hour you sit.； You can do levator exercises daily (contract the anus and then relax, 10-15 groups each time) to promote blood circulation around the anus ； Choose loose and breathable underwear to keep the anal area clean and dry and reduce local irritation.

　　Although hemorrhoids are common, they should not be dealt with. Mastering the above practical methods can quickly relieve pain when an attack occurs. It is also important to develop good living habits and prevent recurrence from the source.
